A bearded Union officer, seated in a studio and posed in full uniform, is the focus of this portrait, which belongs to the wider body of Civil War-era photographs that Gettysburg-area collections preserve. Studio portraits like this one were a staple of the 1860s, when soldiers often sat for a likeness before leaving for the front, and the painted backdrops, draped props and formal stance reflect the conventions of the time. The record does not name the sitter, so the uniform and pose are the best clues to his rank and the period in which the picture was made.
